They could probably make enough money off of Google ads for "mesothelioma" on their mesothelioma page to give books to millions of children.

Problems arise when advertisers ask Wikipedia to censor content to suit the position of the advertisers. No doubt that would happen.

If ads to show up on Wikipedia, and you don't like it, Google the topic and click the links below Wikipedia -- that's where the Wikipedia editors probably scraped the content from in the first place.

I use Comcast for my ISP, but if this happens - if the tolls go up -- I'll dump as much of their TV service as I can. I get far more entertainment out of NetFlix than I get out of their TV services (cable + on demand + Fancast). My practical alternative is Verizon DSL or FiOS internet, but I don't want to enter into a two year contract with Verizon - and who knows if they'll be adding NetFlix or Hulu tolls as well.

The only thing that concerns me is we might see a drop in future TV content quality as more people move to NetFlix and Hulu. I don't know what slice of the $100 or so dollars a month I shovel over to Comcast ends up in the hands of the folks who produce TV shows, but I have to think it's more than the slice that comes from the $7.99 NetFlix or 9.99 Hulu Plus gets. I know I'll survive, but I don't want to see Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, or even American Pickers go away.

I have two reasons why my gaming in general has dropped dramatically.

One is increased distractions from other devices and entertainment sources vying for my attention. Between my smart phone and iPad, NetFlix and then the constant interaction that comes with social media sites, my attention is constantly pulled away from console gaming. I use my PS3 to watch NetFlix movies 90% of the time and gaming the other 10%.

My other issue is games have become boring in the PS3/XBOX 360 generation of gaming. My guess is all the creativity and man-hours are going into making the games look and sound good, so nothing is left over to go towards intriguing game-play. If game play sucks, I'm not going to waste my time. I think Portal also ruined a lot of games because of the pressure for developers to stick puzzles in everything. Blech! I'm having a great old time blasting aliens, and then all the fun stops because I have to figure out a dumb puzzle. Also, there's too much instructions in games now -- thanks to Mario Bros games. Blech! Instructions, puzzles in non-puzzle games and run-on-rails gameplay have killed gaming for me.

The damage is done. 10 years from now his daughter will get her revenge for years of fatherly neglect by dating a geriatric yet suave Billy Mitchell.

I just had my 22-year High School Reunion and personality wise no one changed. Kind of sad.

I used to play an excessive amount of Burnout on the PlayStation. In that game you get points for side-swiping other cars. I found myself targeting and aiming for cars in real life. I stopped playing the game because of that.

They're probably spidering the "generated source" of a page, which means any content rendered with JavaScript is now spiderable and indexible [sic, I'm sure] -- what your eyes can see, Google will index.

Google is doing a lot of new things now, like listening to audio files and changing speech to text. Complete parsing of SWF files, including media and XML files called by the SWF. They can pull text off of images as well.

Coincidentally, only 1/5 of the world can purchase a Milkway candy bar. Haw haw haw!

I live in New Jersey (I know "boo!") and my Dobson is all but worthless. The Jersey night sky is like pink mud. I think I'll put my Dobson to better use and fill it with giant Pringles.

Until Google stops chopping the top off of mountains in Kentucky to get coal to fuel the interweb, the sky will continue to get more polluted. Seriously, WTF am I talking about.
